<p>I'm so glad you're doing well and need no further treatment! Hope you stay that way and never need any again!</p>

<p>I hope that treatments continue to go well and that you have few long-term effects. May your body remain healthy and strong to be able to fend off the invading cancer.</p>
<p>Best wishes!</p>

<p>I had endometriod adenocarcinoma Grade 1 also and the stats I got are the same (95% chance of no recurrence with surgery alone). It had only invaded 2 mm of the uterine lining out of 30mm. It also sounds like I will have the same follow-up go back in 4 weeks (6 weeks post op) then every 3-4 months for the next 12-18 months then every 6 months up to 5 years. I feel VERY BLESSED.</p>
<p>I was talking to a friend the other day and she said something about me being a cancer survivor which was weird to hear. I think because I never felt sick, had pain or have to go through any other treatment like many of the others on the site I just did not think of myself as a survivor and still don't in many ways. But when my GYNO ONCOLOGIST stated I was now his patient and so unless I had the need to go back and chat my regular GYNO there was no reason to go back to her. This is when it started to sink in.</p>

<p>I just had my first brachytherapy yesterday and it wasn't bad at all. It took less than an hour (the actual radiaton was in me only 6 or 7 minutes) and it didn't hurt. So far no side effects. </p>
<p>Since my cancer is Stage 2b and Grade 3 (clear cell) I am agreeing to whatever treatments my oncologists suggest, which are two more brachytherapy treatments and up to six rounds of chemo. </p>

<p>depends on the type of cancer and grade. I had endometriod adenocarcinoma Grade 1. My stats are 95% chance of no recurrence with surgery alone. The risk of treatments is higher than my risk of recurrence. I have had pelvic exams and paps every 4 months. It's been just about 2 years, so now even that has been reduced to every 6 months. Yahooie. </p>
<p>But the more aggressive grades and Type 2 endo cancers (UPSC, MMT, clear cell, etc.) typically have adjuvunct treatments even at Stage 1a because the risks of recurrence are lowered significantly with treatments. </p>
<p>Do you know what type and grade of cancer you had? </p>
<p>So glad your surgery is finally behind you and hope you have a great post op visit tomorrow.</p>

<p>I too had the DaVinci surgery and did very well. Wishing you good results on your pathology report. Continue to take it one day at a time. In peace and caring.</p>

<p>I think too depends on how aggressive our cancer type is....yours and mine are both aggressive --- UPSC and MMMT. For one thing mine is staged 3C, found in 1 pelvic lymph node only, and he wanted to be as aggressive as possible to beat this devil. </p>
<p>Unfortunately there's not really a "one treatment for all" method, and all we can hope for is a good, qualified OB oncologist to guide us. I've got the best in my area, so have more of a comfort level. He as well deals with MMMT, even has a few active and past patients with same type cancer.</p>
